The London System by GM Damian Lemos

The London System is a chess opening that usually arises after 1.d4 and 2.Bf4, or 2.Nf3 and 3.Bf4. It is a 'system' opening that can be used against virtually any black defense and thus comprises a smaller body of opening theory than many other openings.
The London is a set of solid lines where after 1.d4 White quickly develops his dark-squared bishop to f4 and normally bolsters his center with pawns on c3 and e3 rather than expanding. Although it has the potential for a quick kingside attack, the white forces are generally flexible enough to engage in a battle anywhere on the board. Historically it developed into a system mainly from three variations:
• 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bf4
• 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 e6 3.Bf4
• 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Bf4
'There is one opening that shines above all others when comparing reward payout to the input effort,' says Zhigen Lin. 'It is relatively quick to learn and obscure enough that even titled opponents may not have a proper antidote lined up.' He is - of course - talking about the London System, popularized by the London BCF Congress Tournament of 1922.
